[opencms-dev] anchor of URL being encoded (and incorrectly)

[Andreas Zahner]

Hi Leslie,

I think the URL you are trying to create is not standards conforming, 
because you are trying to append GET parameters behind the fragment. See 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme#Generic_syntax for details.

Try to place the fragment as last part of the URL, then OpenCms should 
handle the URL correctly.

Andreas.
